Language-Gap Study Bolsters a Push for Pre-K - 0 views

  •  
    This news is talking about the importance of oral language and vocabulary introduced to a child at a very early age, and differences between children from wealthier families and children from low-income families in terms of vocabulary knowledge and reading skill.
  •  
    It is really sad to see this unjust difference between children and the fact that the gap gets bigger. It is mentioned that later reading comprehension success is related to this difference which can influence people in a variety of situations in life such as reading a newspaper, reading the instructions of usage of a mechanic device etc.

ISSUES IN MEASURING SITUATED COGNITION: CASES OF SITUATIONAL JUDGMENT TESTS - 0 views

  •  
    SJTs have long history of being used for measuring situated cognition; they have been used from 1920's(McDaniel, et. al., 2001). Although SJT has been originated from the conception of measuring dimensions, it has been viewed as a measurement method(e.g., McDaniel, et. al., 2001; Weekly & Jones, 1999) because it has been difficult to delineate the dimensions and situations. The situations represented by scenarios in SJTs are viewed as method from psychometric sense, meaning that situation effect, scenario effect, or method effect are all interchangeable.

    This source brings a focus to our readings I think; the assessment part. The example was partly hard for me to follow I have to say,I kinda got lost :) But I found the idea of the togetherness of knowledge dimensions and situational scenarios as methods. Thank you sharing
  •  
    Canan, you are completely right about the sample SJT for situated cognition. I still try to figure out..But I can share a very easy form of SJT.

  •  
    Thank you for the example video, I really liked the idea of green bars as skills visually moving up and down. Do the instructor enter these skills?
  •  
    Actually the skills are predetermined and while learners study the tutors monitor their performance and learning by the help of some algorithms called model tracing and knowledge tracing. So according to the learner's performence the tutor changes the expected skills
  •  
    Ok, thank you :) I thought if a teacher is using this tool for example, s/he can enter some skills beforehand.
  •  
    Thank you Halil, it's a very good example. And Canan mentioned a good point but I have a question: If we use these kind of systems, do we need empty tools for teachers which they can fill for their own instructional purposes or do we need a complete environment which teachers will just use?

Vilayanur Ramachandran: The neurons that shaped civilization - 1 views

  •  
    One of the living science legends, Ramachandran, who is well known for his studies in neuroscience, talks about the influence of 'mirror neurons' in our lives. This video has some implications for complex social learning and for interconnectedness among people happening as a result of our interacting brains.
  •  
    and so many connections to cultural learning. I am curious to read more about his work, like if there is any research on the developmental stages of humans and the development of mirror neurons over the years.

4 Ways to Apply the Situated Learning Theory - 1 views

  •  
    What is the Situated Learning Theory? Situated learning, simply put, is learning that takes place in the same context in which it is applied. It was first proposed by Jean Lave and Etienne Wenger as a model of learning in among group of people who share a craft and/or a profession, i.e., a community of practice.The basic tenet of the theory is that abstract knowledge usually given in the classroom is harder to retain.

What are Novice and Expert Learners? - 4 views

  •  
    You can find a brief summary of how expert can be defined. I think this will helpful for your readings.
  •  
    Is it valid for any kind of knowledge or subject area that expert learners follow some of those guidelines? Are there any previous ideas or "expertise" in such a field to learn as experts? Are expert learners use those learning styles in any topic even they do not have any particular idea about it?
